OR/WA Day 3

I bet you are wondering... who is our friend?! That would be the lovey Leslie Hobbs! Huge THANK YOU to Leslie for letting us stay the night. Katie and I woke up after sleeping in a little. When Katie went outside to go get her clothes, she comes back in, "SUSIE! There's a deer in Leslie's yard!" I get up, grab my camera and we run outside in our socks.

I give Katie the Camera, where she with shoes, walks to get a closer shot.

The deer started walking away, and then, Katie spots two more. Leslie wasn't kidding when she told us there were three deer that hung out around the neighborhood! I ran over quietly, soaking my socks in wet grass, to see the scene. Katie snaps a shot of the three starting to move away from us. I don't think they like tourists. lol.

Katie and I get ready... where Leslie is going to take us to tour Seattle! We are more than excited. A little tired, but excited.Seattle is rather close to Leslie, we keep chatting and singing along the ride. We took the pigs along with us where we meet up with a Cavy breeder to do a pig swap!

Katie and I are city girls, so we are very happy when we see sights like this:

It's Seattle! We take the car and park it in a parking garage, go look at the Space Needle and check out the Music Experience Building. I never realized how big the Space Needle is! Surely a view.

Pigs awaiting pick-up.

We meet up with the cavy breeder, and afterwards, we take the Monorail to the Public Market! The Public Market is a place where you can get fresh anything, fish, flowers, food. It is very crowded, has tons of gift shops and is a total blast for all cultures!

Leslie poses with a fish, most likely just pulled out of the ocean.

Beautiful flowers, of all kinds, only $5 a bouquet!

The woman just caught the fish tossed to her! LOL.

"Cactus Pups!" in one of the gift shops. We also found "Terrified Pickles" "Catapult a Baby" and Jesus Merchandise, including bandaids and bobble heads.

Leslie, Katie, and I do some more walking. We go to the "Curiosity Shop" They had mummified people in there, WHAT A TRIP!

(This is where Jenny calls me and notifies me of her Double BIS back home in California, Congrats Jenny!)

We decided to eat at a Red Robin, because we were leaving that night. We ate outside, right over the water and got to see the sun start setting. So beautiful!

A Seagull begging for food. hehe.

By now, Katie and I are VERY tired. We still have driving to do tonight. We say our good byes and several thank yous to Leslie and her husband, Keith. It all happens so soon!
